Time is like a white horse crossing the stream, and in the blink of an eye, Yang Bo has been coming to Peach Blossom Island for more than ten days.

The No. 1 and No. 2 explosives factories are located on Taohua Island, and the equipment has been installed and is being commissioned.

This time, Gan Xin also came, and this kind of thing was up to him to do.

Although Gan Xin is not highly educated, he is curious, interested in new things, and learns quickly.

Explosives are very dangerous, and if there is an accident, the damage to property is small, and there are usually casualties, so this situation should be avoided as much as possible.

Yang Bo is most concerned about safety, first according to Ma Daochang's laboratory secrets, simulate various dangerous operations, so that workers can see with their own eyes what harm can be caused by wrong operations, and then set detailed rules to strictly prohibit non-compliant operations.

The key lies in the implementation, when everyone is careless and paralyzed, Yang Bo needs to be on the front line, inspect and supervise, those who abide by the law must be rewarded, and those who violate the law must be severely punished.

Yokoshima has a geographical advantage, and kelp cultivation is arranged on Yokojima.

Yang Bo has been staying on Peach Blossom Island all these days, and the kelp matter is handled by that old Yutou, who is a candidate selected by Ji Shun, and it is said that he is very effective.

Yang Bo took the time to come to Hengdao today to inspect it.

Seeing the old Yutou, Yang Bo felt familiar, and under careful questioning, Yang Bo had really seen him, that night attack on the Dutch warship, set up a contact point on the shore, and when he returned, a fire would be lit there to guide them, and that contact point was near the kelp pond of Lao Yutou, and Yang Bo had also eaten the supper made by others.

It's just that that night, Yang Bo's mind was on the Burisham, and he didn't bother to say a word to Lao Yutou.

Hearing Lao Yutou say this, Yang Bo felt embarrassed in his heart, he was in a high position in the stone temple, and his weight was not trivial, so that there were many fewer opportunities to contact the people, and he felt that he was a little floating.

The sea around Yokoshima is not deep, and there are open reefs and reefs everywhere, which are not accessible to large boats, but it may be a good place to grow kelp.

The deepest part of the water surface selected by Lao Yu Tou was only two feet, and he and a group of fishermen's children had already gone to the sea, making a fence with bamboo sticks and sticks to fence off the kelp seedlings, so that the tide would not come and go and wash away the seedlings.

Yang Bo was interested for a while, and he also rolled up his pants and went to the sea, working behind Lao Yutou, what did people do to him, Yang Bo wanted to mingle with them.

Not to mention, Yang Bo's actions frightened Lao Yutou, so he hurriedly came over to stop him, "Childe, how can you do this kind of thing?" Let Manager Ji know that it's time for the little old man to eat and hang up. ”

Yang Bo was unmoved, insisting on finishing the work in hand, and his pro-people actions also moved these people to the point that they couldn't do it, and some people were so excited that they wanted to cry.

In the words of later generations, coming from the masses and going to the masses is the magic weapon of invincibility.

The mass line is good, and when it is used in Daming, the effect is just now.

After finishing the work, Yang Bo started a routine with Lao Yutou again, and asked Lao Yutou if he was still used to living a life when he came all the way from Shenjiabao? Is there enough to eat, wear, and use? Etcetera.

"It's okay, it's okay, thanks to the blessing of the son, the son gives more monthly money and silver than anywhere else, compared with the past, the current days are like fairies, hehe.."

Lao Yutou is a honest and honest character, people are familiar, and there are more conversations, "Kelp this thing, the little old man has never seen it, it is the same as the reason for planting crops, knowing its temperament, it is easy to do, now it is a seedling, the work is not heavy, idle, the little old man can also cast a net to catch a fish... ”

Yang Bo heard that the old man could still cast a net to catch fish, so he proposed to see the fishing net, in Shenjiabao, Yang Bo saw that people were using bamboo baskets to catch some shellfish on the seaside, sea crabs or something, but it was rare to see someone casting a net.

The fishing nets of the old head are woven with twine, which cannot be compared with the nylon fishing nets of later generations, especially at sea, where the sea water corrodes, and the fishing nets can easily rot.

Under careful questioning, Lao Yutou also said that Yang Bo gave a lot of monthly money, he was not short of silver, and he only wanted to cast nets and fish for recreation, and he really used it to support his family, which was absolutely impossible.

The main reason is that the input and output are disproportionate and the cost is too high, which also explains why few people in Shenjiabao use fishing nets, which is not cost-effective.

"Three days of fishing, two days of drying nets." This statement is true, not a legend.

Because the net is not dried, the net quickly rots.

The water drift on the fishing net of the old head looks like wood, but it can float on the water, but it has attracted Yang Bo's attention.

This water drifter is indeed a kind of cork, the so-called cork, in fact, a kind of oak bark, the bark is composed of flat tissue, which is filled with air, and the wood fiber content is very small, so it does not give birth to insects, and it is not easy to perish, and most importantly, it has a small density and can float on the water.

This is exactly the material Yang Bo is looking for, he wants to prepare life-saving facilities on the sea boat, there are no chemical products such as plastic foam in this era, and this kind of cork can only be used.

The last night attack on the Burisem, He Qifeng and the two of them fell into the sea and almost drowned, since then, Yang Bo has been thinking about life jackets and lifeboats.

He had set up a number of lifeboats on the Ghost, but the life jackets had not progressed due to the lack of suitable materials.

Yang Bo pursued a strategy of few but fine, the soldiers went out to drill every day, raised soldiers for thousands of days, and spent countless amounts of silver, each soldier was a valuable resource, but before he went to the battlefield, he was drowned, isn't it very cost-effective?

Yang Bo didn't expect that he would get such an important clue from Lao Yutou, with this clue, Yang Bo could ask Feng Wanli to go to Shaanxi and help him buy some oak bark back, and with the materials, it was not difficult to make a life jacket.

Yang Bo asked Lao Yutou for some samples to take with him, and took a small ferry back to the Ghost parked on the coast of Peach Blossom Island.

His headquarters was located on the Wraith, and usually, if the Phantom was not far away, Yang Bo would rest in the command bay of the Phantom at night.

Lei Qizi is now the captain of the Ghost, Yang Bo is optimistic that Wang Changsheng is a talent that can be created, so he transferred him to Lei Zhizi and learned to drive the ship, while He Qifeng was transferred to the commander of the Marine Battalion.

Yang Bo climbed onto the Ghost along the sling, and the first person he saw turned out to be Pu Peiyao.

This time, she took the Ghost to go home to see his father Pu Zixun, what is she doing today?

"Pei Yao, why are you here?" Yang Bo got on the boat, asked casually, kept walking, and was still moving forward.

"What are you going to do?" Pu Peiyao caught up and said, "My father came to look for you, and he was on the boat." ”

Yang Bo raised a hand and shook it, "I'll go wash my hands." ”

"You wait a while, I'll find you something to say, you won't wash your hands once."

Pu Peiyao stopped abruptly, I wanted to say Yang Bo, you will die if you don't wash your hands once, but she swallowed it back, she is now acting and talking, no longer like when she first went to Shenjiabao, scolding the air, willful, mean, and rude.

It is estimated that in this world, except for Yang Bo, she looks down on anyone.

Pu Peiyao is very self-conscious, likes to scare people, and speaks ruthlessly, but since Xu Wenjue returned to Nanjing, this matter has been somewhat irritating to her, and now, she also knows that it is not easy to be restrained.

Yang Bo noticed it, and he was also relieved, after all, in Shenjiabao, Pu Peiyao also followed Shen Yiming and Leshui to class, and he was also a student of Yang Bo.

Yang Bo pursed his lips and smiled, nodded and said, "I'll be back soon." ”

When Yang Bo came back, Pu Peiyao was scared, "My father came for... Xu Wenjue's 10,000 taels of silver, you have to help me. ”

Under careful questioning, Pu Peiyao returned to Zhoushan this time to ask her father to take out 10,000 taels of silver and donate it to Peiyao Women's School, and also asked Yang Bo to return Xu Wenjue's 10,000 taels.

Yang Bo thought about it, Xu Wenjue donated silver in order to name Pu Peiyao, but now that Xu Wenjue wants to get married, the matter between him and Pu Peiyao will not be successful, but it is really inappropriate to occupy Pu Peiyao's name.

"Pei Yao, have you thought about it, in my opinion, the second lady of the prince of Wei is also quite stylish, so don't you think about it?" Yang Bo said with a smile.

"Pull the wind, pull what kind of wind?" Pu Peiyao looked dazed, and Yang Bo hurriedly said: "I mean the scenery, marrying Xu Wenjue, being a second lady is also very beautiful, hehe.."

When Pu Peiyao heard this, she rolled her eyes, "What second lady, not a concubine?" After pausing for a while, his eyes rolled, he looked straight at Yang Bo, and his voice rang out, "Even if you are a concubine, why do you want to be a concubine for that dead fat man, I have always liked you, Yang Bo, it is better for you to marry me, and I will be a concubine for you." ”

"Hi, hi, shhhh When Yang Bo heard this, he was frightened, and hurriedly said, "You girl, you can't talk nonsense about this." ”

"Giggle.."

"It's just a joke, look at what scares you," Pu Peiyao patted the side of the boat, laughed, and said: "Okay, tell you seriously, 10,000 taels of silver, my father has no opinion, but he doesn't want to offend the Xu family, the 10,000 taels of silver of the dead fat man, you must give it back, it's about my innocence, he has returned to Nanjing to get married, and what are you doing with my name?" In the future, how will I get married? ”

"Okay, I'll try, if it doesn't work, don't blame me." Yang Boyang raised his hand, raised his leg and walked towards the command cabin.

Pu Peiyao, who was behind her, stared at Yang Bo's back and muttered, "What am I complaining about you?" Complaining that you were born so handsome? Why do you have so much ability? God, help me, I really like Yang Bo."

Her words can only be heard by herself, but Yang Bo, who is far away, can't hear them.

Yang Bo returned to the command cabin, and sure enough, Pu Zixun was waiting for him, and it was estimated that he had been waiting for a long time.

"Pu Dongjia, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting." Yang Bo hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Look at your old complexion, people are getting younger and younger, please take a seat.."

Pu Zixun returned the salute and laughed: "Yang Bo, you have learned to praise people, people are old, and the old man can't bear your praise." ”

Yang Bo refilled the tea again, Pu Zixun sat down, and the two talked about the scene, to Yang Bo's surprise, Pu Zixun did not mention Pu Peiyao, but first talked about his son, Pu Xiangzhen, who is now the prisoner of the capital Guozijian, which sounds like it was bought with silver.

"My son of mine is not good at studying, and I have already repaired the book to him, so that he can come back as soon as possible." Speaking of his son, Pu Zixun sighed, and said: "My Pu family is mainly engaged in spices and precious wood, these things need to be transported from the South Seas, and the old man also mentioned to his son last time, now the Zheng family is powerful, the Zheng family's ship is stopped at sea, and the geese have plucked their feathers, this business is not easy to do, hey.."

Pu Zixun definitely didn't come to Yang Bo to complain, Yang Bo knew it in his heart.

The last time Yang Bo went to Zhoushan to find him, Pu Zixun already knew that Shimiao could produce matches, and he wanted to use the Dutchman's maritime strength to attack the Zheng family.

Pu Zixun's wishful thinking was nothing more than wanting to cooperate with Yang Bo and the Dutch, squeeze the Zheng family, sell matches to Nanyang when he went, bring back spices and precious wood, and then sell them to the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the world is unpredictable, and Pu Zixun didn't expect that the Dutch would drive a battleship and force each other by force, and they should be unlucky, who let them provoke Yang Bo.

The Dutch suffered a big loss at the hands of Yang Bo, let Yang Bo grab two warships, not to mention, but also let Yang Bosheng capture 200 prisoners of war.

And Yang Bo and Zheng Zhihu actually married brothers, and the overseas marketing of matches produced in Shimiao was also handed over to the Zheng family, which also made Pu Zixun feel that stealing chickens and rice was not good.

Pu Zixun didn't dare to underestimate Yang Bo at the beginning, but now looking at Yang Bo, he seems to be already a hegemon in the East China Sea, and the speed of his rise is really unprecedented, and there is no one to come, which is really staggering.
